“Violent crime and illegal drugs have no place on our streets and we are committed to investigating all reports made to us thoroughly. Drug production and dealing often leads to further crime including violence which causes misery in our communities and I would urge people to let us know if they suspect drug dealing in their neighbourhoods as no one wants incidents like this happening on their doorstep.
